    Honda's 'Mr. Opportunity' commercial. I think I saw it more than a dozen times in just a couple hours' time over the weekend. Also, those Hyundai 'Duh' commercials are pissing me off even more, but that seems to be the norm with Hyundai TV spots.

    I nominate the "duh" commercials for worst of all time. Also the viva viagra ads. They should compete for the "award."

    On a better note, I have to say, I love The Slowskys.

    "...And/or duhhhhh!"

    Sorry. And/or my bad.

    Me too dude! I never hear anyone say that. For some reason, I think those commercials are hilarious!

    Another awesomely bad one: The anti-steroid ad that shows the football, basketball, etc. shrinking. "And...another thing...they can do to a guy's body."

    Get it? THEY SHRINK YOUR BALLS, PEOPLE. YOUR BALLS. GET IT???

    Oh god, speaking of "accents", that Honda of Annapolis guy. Dude, there is NO "R" at the end of Honda. Honda. Not Honder. And while we're at it, somebody tell that guy that you should never point at the camera.

    This one I actually like, though I can't remember what product it's for: it's the three guys that are staying in the hotel, and the blond one starts humming along horribly to whatever song is coming through his earphones, and the other two guys hear him and start humming along to make fun of him, and he gives them this really great look of exasperation and "ARE YOU TEASING ME?" and then they all start warbling along to the song a cappella. I love it, though I guess it didn't work because I can't remember what it advertised. Holiday Inn? Comcast? It's the same guys in an ad with Cal where they want to listen to a game with him and they all start crowding and he leaves, but this one is funnier, as is the one with the different pillows. I love those guys. They're such losers.

    Holiday Inn...that commercial is hilarious , as is the Cal one.

    ESPN MNF commercials with people humming may be one of the worst I've ever seen. I've ranted about it before , probably in this same thread , but those commercials act like Monday is the greatest day of the week. Wouldn't the greatest day of the week be the day with the most games?

    Aww, no way! When he snaps (pun intended) over his shoulder at the nagging wife, "You come push it! You push it real good!" I almost died the first time I saw it.

    I also love the Geico one at the psychotherapist's office.

    "What's your name? . . .And he doesn't say anything, because he's a doll."

    The one on the moving walkway in the airport with the Muzak playing slays me every time. The other ones, eh.

    I really hate that new one for Heineken's draught keg, with the vocoder song.

    In fact, all of Heineken's commercials have been really really stupid recently (c.f., again, the Pu$$ycat Dolls one).

    You love it, you know it.

    You could go down in the commercial-writing hall of fame!
